Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth

8/10 Good

"We had a one night stay in a very good room with sea view. The staff were excellent and it was excellent to have the parking right on site. The breakfast was also excellent with a good variety of options to choose from. It was about a 10 minute walk to the sea. All in all a very pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked the hotel for a short break for our 10th wedding anniversary. The room exceeded our expectations and it looked much better then the pictures online. The restaurant was excellent, so was the outdoor swimming pool. The only thing that wasn't great was a corporate party taking place underneath our room which we were not told about at the point of booking. When I called reception I was told the party would finish at 23.00 which it didn't. When we called again we were told it would finish at midnight and it did. When you pay for a premium stay you expect a premium stay and unfortunately it did not deliver across the board. It is a shame as the facilities and staff were excellent."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"I will return to this hotel as it’s on the beach, the staff are friendly and my room was very clean and comfortable and I had a lovely sea view. I wish there were more healthier options for lunch and dinner, I should next time order poached eggs for breakfast, but I was a bit shy doing that. I should say that I tried to go to The Haven one lunchtime, to have lunch, as my grandfather stayed there a lot in the 60’s and despite the receptionist saying it was open, it was totally deserted, and the nearby bar staff were completely dismissed of me."

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Good reception. Great food. Room great apart from view out of window. Could not use pool etc as was not advised there was staff training so not open in the afternoon. Only knew staff training when I had got ready and gone down to a notice on the door to enter. Times of pools opening times did not match online to inside times, so never got to visit."
